That book is just sooo awe-sum. In all honesty, I actually cried near the end!
It was so good that by the time I finished reading it, my eyes were fully sore and red and stuff, not because I've been crying, but because I was reading it for AGES. I think I read somewhere between a quarter and a half of the book yesterday because I just couldn't put it down! Even the first chapter of the prologue was just like WOAH I can tell this book is gonna be awesum.
Actually, no. Even BEFORE the prologue; the BLURB.
How good is that blurb?! It's so unconventional, and it captures you the first line
"Here is a small fact: You are going to die."
It definitely is a MUST read. Drop everything your doing, go to the library and pick this up!!!
Oh yeah, because (as it says in the blurb) it's set during Nazi Germany, a lot of bombs and controversy with Jews have occurred throughout the book. One picture that will be forever in my mind is:
The Book Thief (novel by Markus Zusak)
For now, Rudy and Liesel made their way onto Himmel Street in the rain.
He was the crazy one who had painted himself black and defeated the world.
She was the book thief without the words.
Trust me, though, the words were on their way, and when they arrived,Liesel would hold them in her hands like the clouds, and she would wring them out like the rain.

Even death has a heart.

Can a person steal happiness? Or is it just another internal, infernal human trick?

It kills me sometimes, how people die.
